"Hohokam" comes
from the Pima Indian (Akimel O'odham) word for "those who have gone", the contemporary Native American inhabitants of southern Arizona. "Ancestral Sonoran Desert People" is the term now used to refer to the people that lived in the Sonoran desert from 5, 500 B.C.E. to the early 1400’s. Their ancestors are the Akimel O'odham and Tohono O'odham peoples in Southern Arizona.

The steep hike from Saddleback Mountain
We hiked around the corner of Picacho Peak to its' back.
This is where I waited for Jonathan as he climbed to the peak.
Jonathan's climb to Picacho Peak.
Jonathan navigated this area by pulling himself with his hands on each of the cables. The incline is about 70 degrees. Jonathan had to return this way, also.
